Cecilia Murray has been wishing for a dog for as long as she can remember. And when a cute pug named Potato is brought in to Orphan Paws, the shelter where she volunteers, she knows he is the dog she's been waiting for. There's just one problem: Eric Chung—a popular, arrogant boy from school—adopts Potato first. What's worse, he hopes to train the little tater to become a show-dog superstar. Cecilia knows that Potato is not cut out for a life of sparkly collars and snobby judges, so she sets out to sabotage Eric's plans.

But the more time Cecilia spends with Potato and Eric, the more she questions everything she thought she knew about dog shows . . . and a certain cute show-dog trainer. Can Cecilia save Potato—while also listening to her heart?
